04asphalt, Mar 30 2005, 04:23 AMpart# 08P61-MCS-100, tank pad for the ST1300 to put on my vtec fing02.gif

my next safari will b4 a tank pad. I want the Hondaline pad from the ST1300 idea3.gif
what is the dealer cost? where's the best deal?

one of you guys who work at a dealer PM me, we need to talk biggrin.gif come on, I know your out there and you want to be part of the frugal expedition.

I bought mine from these guys http://www.sporttouringusa.com/www/ST1300.htm
at the IMS in Cleveland. Paid the same price as the web site. The guy told me they order them from David Spares. Hope this helps.

Oh and I love the way it looks on the tank. I saw a Silver '03 like mine with one at Mid-Ohio last year and knew I needed one.

Good Luck!!!

I picked mine up at daytone bike week from sporttouringusa.com for $45. Nothing else comes close in my opion.

Got any pics of the tank pad mounted?

Frug,

I picked mine up today at Shawmut Hills. Ordered it last Friday, came in today. $46.95 + tax, but no shipping. Hope to install it this weekend. cool.gif

There is a picture of one in the galleries. It is not my bike but a good shot of the pad.

I want a Mag-Knight magnetic tank bra. They've got color-matched ones for the VFR. You can hardly tell it's there, and it covers the knee area too.

They're $100, though. =\

Mag-Knight



EDITED -- Hmm, I just realized there might be some difference between a pad and a bra. blink.gif Are you guys wanting nut-buster protection, or just to keep the tank from getting scratched?

I will check prices for you here.

$ 41.08 Service Honda.

The pad looks great! Do any of you have an idea how it would fit on a 5th gen tank? huh.gif

Here's mine. You can see the spot where my jacket rubs on it.

Man!, Isn't that tank pad kinda ...uhh..BIG....a little too big IMO blink.gif . Like the HONDA logo on it though! fing02.gif
The tank pad I got from Honda is smaller and more horizontal in shape and wraps around the tank. I should take my old "Moto Fizz" pad off and just mount the Honda pad already, take a picture and post it on this thread for everyone to see.

Inexpensive solution for tank protection....cost was probably $10.00 or so....works well

guess it would help to add the pic

The nicest one I've had is the Oxford one my wife gave me to replace a clear Pro-Grip one I had on my VTR1000.
The VifFerraRi has a carbon fibre one, which is OK, except it has a small gap behind it which is probably accumulating all sorts of crud and ruining the paint. blink.gif
It's also been mounted off-centre, so it may be time to remove it and re-glue it.

Won't some smartass steal it one day? Or will you take it off whenever you leave the bike unattended?

04asphalt, Apr 6 2005, 03:36 PMlooks like the pro grip route for me dry.gif

not guna pay $40 + for a pad just cause it says honda

I would have paid forty bucks for the pad even if it didn't say Honda. It's a quality pad.

With how you pinch pennies (not that it's a bad thing) , I am truly amazed at times that you even bought a Honda.

Maybe?? Not yet. We'll see.

The Honda tank pad is frickin' huge!

I've got a L-P 1/2 tank bra on mine, but I've seen those little tank pads that look like M/C tire treads and they are kinda neat.

LP has them.

I'll bet most people assume it's stuck on there, and therefore won't bother with it...

cbar, Apr 7 2005, 11:39 AMI'll bet most people assume it's stuck on there, and therefore won't bother with it...

I'm going to agree! beer.gif It does appear to be "stuck" like an adhesive pad would be.
